Sheridan Smith mugged

Former Gavin & Stacey star Sheridan Smith was mugged at a bus stop in central London last week. The 29-year-old actress had just finished a performance of the hit West End play Flare Path, in which she stars opposite Sienna Miller, when she was mugged on her way home. Sheridan, who has fast become the toast of the London theatre scene after a hugely successful run as Elle Woods in the surprise hit Legally Blonde: The Musical, is thought to have been targeted by three thugs for her iPhone. According to a witness, the down-to-earth actress attempted to follow the thieves before they were lost in the busy central London crowd. The actress, was understandably shaken by the events with the witness also adding "...I could see that she was crying. Some people at the bus stop tried to console her. A man put his arm around her - she was terribly upset." The unstarry actress is thought to regularly catch the bus home from her theatre jobs, eschewing a limo for public transport. SOURCE: DAILY MAIL
